Past Research at the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory

At the UW Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory Prof. Remy conducted research on the biomechanics and neuromuscular coordination of human movement.

At the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Prof. Remy conducted research on the biomechanics and neuromuscular coordination of human movement. In particular, he developed algorithms that allow the precise replication of recorded motions in forward dynamic simulations. Part of the results are available through the SimTk project.

This forward dynamic simulation of walking is based on actual walking data recorded via motion capturing in a gait lab. Using a Computed Muscle Control (CMC) and Residual Elimination Algorithm (REA), muscle activations where extracted, that are driving the simulation.
